LED TO TEMPTATION
Napier-based scaffolder Luke Davidson, 27, was cooking just for himself tonight, with flatmates away for the evening.
With plans to treat himself to some Netflix based comedy content, Davidson thought why not upgrade his nacho recipe to gourmet level, adding an avocado to the normal mince, onion, tomato and chilli beans.
“As they say, sometimes you just gotta ‘treat yo self’,” he said unironically.
But as he got to the plating up stage of creating his culinary delight, Davidson found that there were only just enough Mexicano corn chips left in the bag to form a neat ring around the edge of his plate.
“Have Mexicano started under-filling their bags? What a scam,” he lied to our reporters, who watched his hand dip into the bag multiple times during cooking.
“I usually pick at the corn chips a bit while I’m cooking, but this is ridiculous. I didn’t eat that many.”
Davidson’s flatmate Ryan says that on nights where they do nachos together, the bag of cheese corn chips has to stay in the pantry until all the cooking’s done.
“Luke can’t control himself. If he opens that bag when the onions go in the pan then by the time it’s time to eat, we’d probably get about four chips each.
“Absolute fiend.”
For tonight though, Davidson is happy to finish off the full bag himself, knowing full well how bloated and uncomfortable he’s going to feel afterwards.
More to come.
